Abstract

The Clariid species, Clarias gariepinus is native to Africa and one of the most cultivated fish in the world. The aim of this research was to evaluate the genetic diversity of this fish from selected places of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu of south India, using Clarias macrocephalus microsatellite DNA markers. This cross amplification was done using two primers (Cmac6 and Cmac11). The mean number of alleles per locus ranged from 0.500 to 5.000.  The heterozyosities observed were found to be 0.1625±0.0707, while 100% polymorphism was observed in C. gariepinus. Conformity to Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium using chi-square test showed that at P<0.001 all the loci showed a significant value. The genetic distance of Nei’s (1978) indicating that the genetic distance between the four population forming two clusters one Poondi Lake and Sholavaram Lake of Chennai; and Bellandur Lake and Varthur Lake of Bangalore on the other cluster.
